I agree, it should definately not be a simple 'if they submit it, add it'
program, it needs to have a database involved with some form of statistics,
it's not a simple project, and it would need some way of controlling false
or bad reports.  It would have to be a single site version of the SpamCop
system, and to be fair you'd need to process the Imail logs to produce
better statistics of complaints to reciepts from a remote server or address.

Of course ther is always the simple but time consuming, user reports spam,
admin reads it, and determines whether to manually black list it or not.
May be able to make a SpamReview like program to help process reports. Lot
of work even with a program.

Although, it would not work if you have malicious (or clueless) users.  For
example, someone signs up for eBay, and starts getting marketing messages
from them.  "Spam!" they say, and bam!  Nobody who uses eBay can use it
anymore.  Of course, that assumes an ISP-type environment; a business would
likely have fewer issues.

Then, there's the question of whether to blacklist based on the return
address "[email protected]", the domain "@yahoo.com", or the IP
it comes from (likely the best option).
